Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cafe Normandie in Annapolis offers a delightful French dining experience with "consistently very good" food and charming service. Guests rave about the "best" baguettes and authentic French dishes like escargots and crepes. The cozy, intimate atmosphere is ideal for special occasions. Service can be slow, but the "amazing" food is worth the wait.

    Premises could use a good bit of refurbishing. Almost looks shabby but food makes up for it. Very nice menu nicely cooked and served. Busy night and service is nice but a little slow. Have been there several times and likely will again. Would for sure if it would be spruced up.

    We always enjoy dining at Cafe Normandie. The food is consistently very good. The servers are always delightful. Sometimes the meal comes out slowly, but it's worth the wait. And it's a French Cafe, so who's in a hurry. Oh, and the baguettes are the best.

    The food was great as always! I am sad that the buttery Chardonnay I’ve previously enjoyed is no longer on the menu. Our waitress was adorable but absent. It took about 20 minutes before we received menus. We wanted to order a second round of drinks but the waitress didn’t show up until we were tired of waiting and had decided to leave. We asked for the check and told her we needed it quickly as we had theater tickets. She dropped of check and never came back. I took check to the hostess to pay. Unacceptable service.

    My wife and I are regulars. This time we had two out-of-town family members with us for their first visit to Cafe Normanie. We enjoyed an excellent meal, and a delightful family evening together. Notable selections from our dinner include cream of crab soup, tomato and mozzarela salad, escargots (a dozen succulant snails), crepe Annapolis (shell fish and seafood -- no "fillers" -- encased by an authentic very thin Normandie-style crepe). Taking into account that their servings run on the gernerous side, the four of us shared one serving of profiteroles for desert.

    We hadn’t been since moving away. It was as wonderful as we remembered. From Lillet blanc through escargot, veal normandie, profiteroles - all delicious. Our server Anna was delightful.
